Marsha Roberts

1951 - 2016

Marsha Ann Roberts was born on Dec. 10, 1951, in Washington, D.C., to Louis and Dorothy Roberts. Marsha was a graduate of Como High School Class of 1969. She continued her education and received her bachelor's of business administration degree from Texas Wesleyan University. After graduating from college, Marsha worked as a data management analyst for Lockheed Martin where she retired after 34 years. Marsha loved her family and was always there for them; while never having children of her own, she was especially close to her sister, Karen, and her two daughters, Ann and Candy. Later, that closeness extended to Candy's two children, Rakyah and Willie Jr. Marsha was very proud of her Como community and was honored with a service award for her participation in many activities and events. Her love for community and her Class of 1969, brought her to create and design Como Alumni Website, which has grown to over 600 members and it was her hope that it would continue to thrive. In her leisure time, Marsha loved to cook and entertain friends and relatives. Her love for dancing kept her on the dance floor and learning new line dances. In her quiet time you could often find her sitting her sunroom admiring her garden that she created with love and care. Marsha loved life and tried to get much enjoyment, as well as making full use of every moment available to her. She could often be found listening to her large library of audio books while working on other projects such as making her home as inviting as possible, or creating the most appetizing meal for the enjoyment of her next guest. Marsha's life was that of a good, loving sister and friend. On Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016, Marsha Ann Roberts was escorted to her prepared place in heaven. She will forever be remembered in the hearts of her family. Survivors: Sisters, Norma Jean Roberts, Karen Marie Roberts, Marva Faye Miller, Dorothy Roberts; and brothers, Leonard Earl Miller, Gregory Roberts, James Roberts and Spencer Cooper.
